Here's the thing: the reason that AR is throwing an exception when that 
fails is because you're specifically giving it an ID. The assumption is 
that you have an ID, you know the record exists, and therefore if it 
can't be found, it's an exceptional situation.

If the records attached to those IDs are going away for some reason, 
either you are stuck using a rescue, or perhaps you can refactor your 
problem so that you are making sure whatever dangling objects still have 
those ids are cleaned up before you actually try to find them.
